This is amusing given the fact that it was Pakistan that nominated Trump for the Nobel peace prize.

Will they revoke that nomination now?
 
It IS about oil. Heavy oil, needed by US refineries.

Please keep in mind that Venezuelan oil is not as important to China, or to the global oil market as it is being made out to be. The important feature here is forced regime change in a narcostate long grown accustomed to facilitating covert warfare against USA that puts others doing the same thing on notice. That also explains China being on the sidelines waiting it out.

Trump pardoned a known DRUG DEALER and now he wants you to believe that he cares about ILLEGAL DRUGS. 🤭
He just wants to STEAL THEIR OIL. Venezuela's exports hit roughly 921,000 bpd in November 2025, according to Reuters, with China taking about 80% of the total (some 746,000 bpd).
These barrels often arrived via Malaysia's ship-to-ship transshipment hubs or through rebranding practices designed to hide their origin.
They've just whacked China.
 
the americans just blatantly overtaken Venezuela, no doubt aided by bought-out local traitors. Venezuela's sovereignty was violated in full and no response from the country to the americans, not even a symbolic one.
Now US will steal and control all of its important rich resources without any opposition or resistance
so-called peace president at the Forefront of all these new conflicts and wars, on behalf of the zions, no surprise there

I can tell you as a person who did this for a living, as a military counter-intelligence specialist, this is not going to be the case. And there is a reason why we don't eliminate the leadership first and then try to take control of a country.

Most dictatorships have a very strong line of succession, which is to preserve the leadership, to float above the vacuum, so that they would ensure the control of their country when they are gone, there will be no election, there will be no opposition.

Taking the leadership over at worse case scenario encourages people to fight for it, if this is a semi-authoritarian or if resistance or infighting is strong, and that opens the door for any opposition. Otherwise, the pressure is always there, and what Trump did is simply you try to give up being a dictator (which most of the time has a faith worse than death in his own country), or you are going to resist and either be killed that way
or like maduro being kidnapped.

I mean the same question had been asked over again. If we captured Osama on Day 1, would you think the Afghanistan insurgency would stop? They weren't doing that because they love their leader; they were doing that because we were there. Osama Bin Laden was long gone by the time we got to Afghanistan, and that didn't stop the Taliban from fighting; hell, he had been dead since 2012, and that didn't stop the Taliban from fighting either.

And finally, this had been done before to Noriega in Panama, we did the same thing, ask him to resign, and he didn't. We invaded and got his a$$ out of Panama, albeit a bigger and more open warfare theme, we weren't even doing that yesterday in Venezuela. How did Panama turn out?

Sir, I told you that there is more to this intervention then what it seems to be on the surface of it. If this article is correct then Trump admin have done its homework.

I understand your point of view. I understand that Venezuela is a dangerous environment where different mafias exist and it might be important to navigate this environment carefully. However, the US have direct access to Venezuela. Trump's playbook is also different for Venezuela, the first of its kind based on surgical operations in different countries and lessons drawn from them. Trump admin initially dispatched the CIA to Venezuela to figure out how Maduro regime works and how to exploit it. Trump admin also ordered a military buildup near Venezuela to strike at Maduro regime if need be. However, the US struck Maduro regime in such a way that the Maduro regime is separated from Maduro himself and his successor is said to be plaint. The CIA have done a splendid job there.

The US does not have direct access to Afghanistan. The US could access Afghanistan via Pakistan and had to respect Pakistan's interests in the process. The Taliban had a broader support base back then and Pakistan cautioned the US to find a way forward with it. The US also employed a less surgical strategy for war in Afghanistan. The dynamics of war in Afghanistan could change if Operation Anaconda in 2002 had led to capture of Osama Bin Laden (OBL) but this opportunity was missed. The Al-Qaeda Network would have chosen a successor but OBL might have provided valuable information in captivity which could be used to dismantle the Al-Qaeda Network at a faster pace in the region. You might want to check what Senator Kerry had to say on this matter. The war in Afghanistan prolonged because it took many years to discover hideouts of the Al-Qaeda Network's most wanted individuals in the region and nab (or eliminate) them. The Taliban were willing to negotiate with the US early on but were ignored by Bush admin. When Trump took charge, the US and the Taliban reached an understanding. The Taliban agreed to not support the Al-Qaeda Network in exchange for the US to allow it to rule Afghanistan. Both sides found a way forward in mutually acceptable manner.

The Taliban are rather exposed in the present as Pakistan have tensions with the Taliban regime. Now might be the best time to strike at the Taliban but it remains to be seen how Pakistan will address this matter and Trump admin will bite or not. The US does not seem to have a problem with Afghanistan in the present.

The Al-Qaeda Network were brainwashed crooks but many people in different countries are not insane and have livelihood concerns. Many people in different countries don't want to experience war, particularly with the strongest country in the world. If Venezuelan forces were up against a neighboring threat then the average joe in Venezuela be like "Right, WE can handle this shit." But when it is the US then the average joe in Venezuela be like "Dang, what are my options?." Modern warfare continues to evolve and change in time due to ongoing innovation in technology and development of new tactics based on prior operational experiences. A different region also presents a different set of challenges to deal with. I am sure that you understand these fundamentals well enough.

I respect your professional experience and understand that many readers can learn a lot from you. Nevertheless, I am a sharp observer and my conventional judgement can be spot on. Refer to this. Let's see.
